Pothole Repair

To report a pothole, call our offices at (252) 215-2412. Please provide detailed, accurate information on the location of the pothole to help us respond quickly.

Corrective Maintenance

Over time, all roadways require some type of corrective maintenance. Techniques such as asphalt patching, surface treatments, and asphalt overlays are used to repair pavement and maintain an acceptable pavement condition. Generally, the Town contracts this work out on an annual basis.

Sweeping

Street sweepers are used on paved streets that have curbs and gutters. They remove trash and litter to minimize the impact on the storm water systems. Public works staff generally tries to clean the all the streets twice a month however we are sometimes hampered by weather and other work projects that prevent us from sweeping 5 days a week every week.

Street Signs

Damaged or missing street signs for Town-owned streets are repaired or replaced by the Town's Public Works Department. Please contact Public Works at (252)215-2412.
